Octal number system used eight digits i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. It's base is 8. Decimal number system used 10 digits i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. It's base is 10. Similarly Binary number system used two digits 0 and 1 that's why it's base is 2.

The binary number system uses only two digits: 0 and 1.
Each position in a binary number represents a power of 2 (2⁰, 2¹, 2², 2³, etc.).
That is why computers use binary to represent data and perform calculations.

Computer only know 0 and 1. There are two number so they use 2 as base.

0 and 1 these two digitas are used in binary system.

These are 0 and 1. So only we are using binary number system power is 2.

Binary system has only two numbers ie 1's and 0's.
And hence its power is two.
And hence its power is two.
